Moore & Van Allen in a “Frenzy” to Fight Hunger!

Moore & Van Allen PLLC is pleased to announce that its Charlotte and Research Triangle offices together raised 75,600 pounds of food during the 2014 North Carolina Legal Feeding Frenzy Challenge. The proceeds, raised to benefit the North Carolina Association of Feeding America Food Banks, were enough to earn Moore & Van Allen the title of Large Firm division winner for the second year in a row!

The 2014 Legal Feeding Frenzy was conducted from March 10 – 28 by the Young Lawyers Division of the North Carolina Bar Association. Seventy-nine total teams raised more than 345,000 pounds of food — the equivalent of more than 280,000 meals — to be distributed statewide in the effort to eradicate hunger.

North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper, honorary chair of this year’s Legal Feeding Frenzy, recognized all 2014 winners on April 22 during an awards ceremony hosted by the North Carolina Bar Association at the N.C. Bar Center in Cary. Charlotte Litigation Associate and Legal Feeding Frenzy Chair Cabell Clay accepted the Large Firm division award on Moore & Van Allen’s behalf, and served as master of ceremonies at the event. Clay was also presented with the North Carolina Association of Feeding America Food Banks “Friend of the Association” Award from Executive Director Alan Briggs, in recognition of her leadership in support of the Frenzy.

MVA initiated a similar effort within Mecklenburg County in 2012, under the name “Legal Food Fight.” The drive brought in a total of $3,705 and more than 400 non-perishable food items in support of Second Harvest Food Bank.
